At the Amman office of the UN's High Commission for Refugees, the entire car park is covered by tents. They're pitched in rows, 40 or so squat domes of flimsy looking, brightly coloured plastic packed together. There is barely any space to walk between them. Nestled in the upmarket district of Khalda it's an incongruous scene, with tents bordering luxury flats and fast food restaurants.
